Hi from the Atlanta Georgia area. Just got my temp certificate. As part of my day job I use ground based laser scanners, so hope to supplement that with drone footage from a Phantom 4 or Inspire eventually. I also will be getting a Mavic of my own to use at weekends, my goal is to make videos of national, state and local parks just for fun. I have a land survey background so may eventually branch out, but that's a long way away for now. I'm hoping I'll learn a lot of the admin portion here, such as how to get flying permissions in the many restricted airspaces in my area.

Hello all, As a quick intro, I'm a small business owner here in the central Georgia area, looking to expand my opportunities. Recently purchased a DJI 4K, and hoping to acquire the necessary license to be able to utilize it in the real estate market locally.
Have a couple smaller drones that i've messed around with in the back yard, lakeside, a Parrot Bebop, and a Yuneec Breeze, but this is my first dive in with a big boy toy. Had a slight mishap on its maiden flight, clipped a branch, and crashed. Luckily was only a few feet off the ground, wasn't prepared for the power and speed. Anyways, looking forward to the journey, hope to gain some knowledge and ideas from all you pros.

Good evening from Georgia! I am making an entire career change into doing something I have always loved - flying. I am interested in flying and modeling and am just scratching the surface of this world. Please send me "if it were me" suggestions to consider moving forward. All input welcome.
Cheers,
Scott

By way of introduction, I am Dave Hunt. I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at Augusta University in Augusta, GA. I teach all of my classes online, including a Sociology of Golf Class. I got my drone in order to take aerial videos of our university golf course to use in the presentation of my class in our online learning management system (D2L). I am also the Faculty Athletics Representative at AU and I plan to use the drone to help our athletics marketing team create videos of our sporting events and student-athletes. I purchased a DJI Phantom 4 and look forward to learning how to use it and obtain my license.
